SrEUBRNvILLE, O., June 4.-Our base
bali club has improved decidedly under the
management OF Nicholson, and we have
faith that it will continue to do so. On
Monday it won one of a series of two games
with Columbus, and on Thursday it de-
feated Mansfield i'll a holly contested game.
1t is true that Mansfield retaliated with q
decided victory on Friday, but then we
can not expect our boys to win all the time.
They no longer occupy the position of tail
endcrs, having left that undesirable loca-
ton to the Sanduskys, and if they keep up
the good work they have begun the chances
are that they will pass other clubs, and by
the end of the season occupy All honorable
position in the list. If they make n good
record on this trip their home friends will
receive them with open arms on their re-
turn. Steubenville is ready to furnish all
the support and encouragement necessary.
Some feeling has been engendered among
members of the G. A. r.. over the fact that
the Congregational Church had a boat en-
cursiOn on Memorial Day. The soldier
boys say that the church management eX
| hibited an utter lack of patriotism by Sc
lecting such u day for such Il purpose.
The indications are that all the circus
managers have left Steubenville of their
maps for this season. We Tan hear of them
being at Wheeling, Wellsburg, Wcllsville
and other neighboring places, hut not one
has been booked for this city.
Fourth street and Market street played Il
match game of ball on the Sixth avenue
grounds Friday afternoon, and nOtwith-
standing Market street had the wOr.d-re-
nowncd Turner and Hushong ~ Il battery,
the Fourth street boys waXed il 10 'cm.
Turner now claims that he had a sore arm,
but BuShUng asserts that Il man tn catch
Turner would have Ia he rs tall ~ Il
church steep!e and have arms II league in
length. The general verdict, however, is
that they lost the game because the Fourth
street boys could play better ball.
The Catholic Fair commenced at Gar
rct's Hall Saturday evening and will con-
Time for ten nights. The management
will issue a paper during the fair entitled;
The Home Ruler, " OF which l.. f.. Brady
is editor and +. j. German manag"r.
The fair gives promise of being II great
success. Father Hartley is doing every
thing liz can to make il so.
The G.. A. X. will hold a picnic at
Browns Island on the Fourth. The Turn
ers will also picnic on the same day, but
the ground has not yet been decided upon.
